   Good job PLP!

   Could use a less-”wooden” narration, but the essence of what is presented is absolutely true.

   Thanks for your video. This is a good resource when trying to explain the benefits of gold dredging.

   You’re welcome! The truth needs to get out that dredges actually help clean up the environment, and improve the fish habitat by loosening packed gravels for spawning and creating cool water holes in the river bottom for migrating salmon to rest in. After one winter storm, usually there is virtually no evidence that any dredging occured.

   I believe the prospectors are donating it.

    The best brand for metal detecters are Minelab tech, youll pay a couple grand for it, but it will pay for itself, especially in the dessert

    I am a gold prospector, I operate a dredge in the summer in NC I also operate a high banker. You are right after one good storm you can not tell where you were before, the rise in water flow fills in where you used to work. I prospect on little meadow creek above Reeds Gold Mine, most is fine gold with an occasional picker, dad found a dime size piece a couple years ago.
